[bioundgrd] Science and Society lectures next week! Oliver Rollins and Mary Munson

[Rebecca L Chamberlain]

Dear Biology Community,

The Biology graduate committee and the Biology Office of Community and Professional Support are pleased to present this year’s Science and Society lectures. We’ve run this series for several years and talks are always excellent. I encourage you to attend to gain a broader perspective on research and its impact on and impact by society. Extended questions and discussion at the end of each talk are encouraged. (Note that the attendance of first-year graduate students is required.)

Our speakers this year are Oliver Rollins and Mary Munson. Prof Rollins is an Associate Professor of Science, Technology, and Society at MIT whose research focuses on sociological aspects of neuroscience. His talk is January 20th at 2 PM. Prof Munson is a Professor at UMass Chen Medical School and the Past President of ASCB. Her talk is January 21 at 2 PM. We’re grateful that Prof Munson will also present a talk about her research earlier in the day, at 10 AM.

Please see details on the poster below. Special thanks to Yadira Soto-Feliciano, Brady Weissbourd, Alison Ringel, and Hallie Dowling-Francisco for leading the series this year.

Best,
Mary Gehring
